I remember a place -- looking like home -- without the waste   Only the pride -- time can't erase -- keeps it alive      All the people remain -- people like you -- going insane   Such a hard life -- oh, what a shame -- to swallow your pride      If I found Rome today -- would it be the same?   If I found Rome this way   Would it fall apart or would I be amazed?      Now you lay there in bed -- running your hand -- over your head   Whatever you need -- is not what you get -- down on your knee      All supply and demand -- into your mouth -- out of your hand   Is this what you want? -- all you can stand -- turning you on      If I found Rome today -- would it be the same?   If I found Rome this way   Would it fall apart or would I be amazed?      Stimulation at best -- only requires -- signing a check   Why should you stray -- off from the rest -- what would it change?      If I found Rome today -- would it be the same?   If I found Rome this way   Would it fall apart or would I be amazed?
